Dr. Yoon's Specialties:Dental Implants•Oral Surgery•TMJ Treatment
A single tooth implant is a titanium post surgically placed into the jawbone to replace one missing tooth, topped with a custom crown that functions like a natural tooth.
Single tooth implants replace missing teeth without affecting adjacent healthy teeth. The procedure involves placing a titanium post in the jawbone, allowing it to fuse over several months, then attaching a custom crown.
Book a ConsultationA single tooth implant replaces both the root and crown of a missing tooth. The implant consists of three parts: a titanium post surgically placed in the jawbone, an abutment that connects to the post, and a custom crown that matches your natural teeth. Unlike bridges, implants do not require altering adjacent teeth.
3D CT scan evaluates bone structure and plans precise implant placement.
Titanium post is surgically placed into the jawbone under local anesthesia.
3-6 months healing period allows implant to fuse with jawbone.
Custom crown is fabricated and attached to complete the restoration.
Mild discomfort, swelling, and bruising are normal for the first few days after implant placement. Most patients return to normal activities within 2-3 days. Osseointegration (bone fusion) occurs over 3-6 months before the final crown is placed.
Single tooth implant costs vary based on individual needs and treatment complexity. Factors include whether bone grafting is required, the type of crown material selected, and any additional procedures. Treatment typically occurs in stages over several months. Many dental insurance plans provide partial coverage for implants. We provide detailed cost estimates during your consultation.
